Diving Kingfisher Caught With Canon 40D Shows What Nature Photography Is All About [I

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...kingfisher.jpgI stumbled across this amazing photo of a kingfisher diving for its dinner, taken by photographer Adrian Groves with a Canon 40D camera. This is how he did it, if you want to emulate it...
Groves set up a tank of minnows as bait, camouflaged with some netting, and then hid out, waiting for the kingfisher to appear. When it finally did, the Canon 40D (with a 70-200f2.8L IS lens, set at f/8, 1/1000 seconds) managed to shoot the kingfisher diving for a feed. I can't stop looking at it—the orange feathers make it look like it's on fire.
Now I want a 40D. And a pet kingfisher. [TrekNature via Telegraph]
